Install of a 06 OEM Rear Tire Carrier on a 04 H2

I am buying a 06 rear tire carrier and I was told that the holes do not line up on my 2004. To those who have done this before, did you tap and drill new holes? How many, just one side? Do the old holes get covered up by the bracket?

Also, I assume you hade to get nuts for the backside of the bumper to thread the bolts in????

Overall how difficult/how long was it?

Thanks for the help.
